“quiet power. not massive, not overbearing. but ever-present.”
D'Angelo Rashad Woods is a SAG-AFTRA actor with a growing presence across streaming and cable platforms. He currently recurs as Darnell, a sharp yet grounded manager in season two of Netflix's Tires, appeared as Detective Snell in HBO's We Own This City, and held his own opposite Rupert Grint in Apple TV+'s Servant.
Bringing smooth southern charm with a sharp Detroit edge, D'Angelo blends the instincts of a comedic character actor with the depth of a dramatic lead. He brings quiet power to roles of authority, heart to working-class heroes, and levity to best friends and dads who aren't as simple as they seem.
The son of a nurse and a Marine Corps veteran turned city bus driver, D'Angelo grew up with both compassion and conviction, learning to listen deeply from his mother and stand his ground from his father. That upbringing shaped the steady, dignified presence he brings to every role.
Before stepping onto professional sets, D'Angelo trained for a decade at the MBS Training Center for the Performing Arts, a beloved Detroit-area institution that nurtured his love of storytelling across dance, theater, and music. That early exposure gave him the stamina, versatility, and show-up-and-deliver mindset he brings to every role today.
Known for thorough preparation and always walking in with the work done, he delivers performances that snap with specificity, like staccato notes on a jazz piano. Whether he's playing the class clown who was also the teacher's pet or a principled man who says what others won't, D'Angelo's presence is both familiar and unexpected.
A former engineer turned full-time creative, he's also an experienced voice actor and audiobook narrator. Represented in Los Angeles and New York, D'Angelo is a versatile, patient craftsman who's just getting started.
